      Often I use Notepad++ to remove hidden characters - have just straight ASCII. Recently, I have found that some hidden formatting characters are still present if I paste the text from Notepad++ to an HTML editor.

      How can I remove those characters?

      Thank you.

        I had this exact problem about a month ago.
        Two seemingly identical lines produced different results in my JavaScript.
        It turned out that there was a hidden character in one line causing it to fail.
        If I remember correctly, I simply changed the encoding in N++ to ANSI to find the hidden characters.
        See if that works for you.
